making vids- enjoyment

i dont even know exactly what to write about. i like to make movies on my video camera. its something i can enjoy. i like to edit them and make slideshows to the words of songs. its really fun to me. ive always liked to make movies until my video camera kept breaking then i kinda quit but now i have a new one and im back in business. i was trying to get them on youtube but yeah they only take 100 mg, that sucks bc i have a lot of long videos that arent exactly 100 mgs. i can make a movie about any thing and its great, especially when bored and it brings enjoyment. so yeah i like to show them to friends. they usually like to watch them and laugh, so yeah. im going to make another video soon that ive been planning in my head. i usually make them with friends or sometimes by myself, and have a friend direct but its always fun. so yeah its great since i can burn them to a dvd and watch them and give them to friends that ask but yeah im really trying to excell at making videos and towards the end im wanting to have videos made and edited to the greatest of my ability

when i was a young kid

I dont know exactly why some things happened to me when I was a child now that I look back on it. I cant remember the exact thoughts or how it felt when i had such a great imagination. Although I will never forget this one thing. It happened every night before bed, right after my mom would shut off the lights. Suddenly.... creatures would start to appear. Not nice friendly creatures either. Creatures I feared. Snakes, spiders, would be slithering up my sheets. They looked as if they were real, but I never touched them. Sometimes I think it was a creation in my mind. It wasnt even like a dream. I was awake, and they would be moving closer and closer to me. Id look on my floor and theyd all be slithering everywhere. Also, I would have these moments where I'd shut my eyes and then when I'd reopen them, I would be somewhere else, like I was stuck on another planet. One time I ended up at this jazz party with the same music as I had heard off of a computer game I had actually been playing in real life. It was freaky. I had a baby coming towards me, and I was about to reach out and grab it and then i was sucked back into my life. It's like I was in another life. I wasnt dreaming. I was so awake. This is what kept me from going to bed so I'm not sure what it was. It had to be my imagination since that's what you have a lot of when you are a kid. When I look back on it, it still seems real. Although now I've realized not everything is what it seems. Still nothing ever seemed so real. I could never touch these things that would appear in my mind, so it had to be imagination, and when I turned the lights on it would go away most of the time. Now, when I look back on it and think of how it hasnt happened to me since I was around 6, it makes me think of the things you can think of when you are a kid.

definition of poetry

When ever someone writes a poem they usually are telling about things that come across their minds. They usually have a lot of meaning in what they say and are trying to make it more meaningful through poetry. It can be more creative then only writing a story. They all share a certain strive that makes them want to write a poem. Although they might not all be the same, something is making them strive to write it. They want you to look at things in their way, and focus on what they are writing, and use empathy as if you understand what they could be thinking. Then again, anyone that writes a poem may think that no one understands exactly how they are feeling. It releases some of their inner self whether someone else see's it or not. I think that when someone is trying to figure things out they will write about things they think. Although all someone really reads is what you write, they can imagine the effect it had on them. Sometimes it isnt the effect it had on the writer though. It could relate to them in another way. Although sometimes the writer cant even get what they are trying to say which makes it harder for anyone else to get it.
